I need to lock the macros in spreadsheets at work.
If I go to Developer>Macros I can edit any of the macros.
So to protect them I went to Visual Basic>Tools>VBA Project
What I don't understand is that there is already a password there.
How it is possible that I can edit any of the macros under Developer>Macros when there is a password which I haven't entered under Visual Basic>Tools>VBA Project
I have been assigned the task of creating our new integrated time and leave sheet in Excel 2007, previously we had 2 sheets, one for times and one for leave.
The problem I have is that I need to protect the authorisaton columns therre are 2 one for AM and one for PM, so that only Managers can authorise leave by inputting a password and then initialing the leave.
What I then need to do a the end of each month is for the manager to be able to click a Button with a Macro which will then lock the whole worksheet so that employees cannot change their times after the manager has checked the sheet.
I can lock the authorisation columns and password protect but I have to enable protection on the sheet, when I do this I cannot then figure out a way of running a macro which will then protect the whole sheet and assign a password to it so it cannot be changed after being checked and signed off.
I have tried to create a macro (button) to remove the protection on the 2 columns and then reapply protection to the whole sheet with another button but to no avail.....
If anyone has any suggestions I would be eternaly greatful.
Passwords on the sheet for the different buttons are abc or cobra.

Is it possible to lock portions of spreadsheets? Like a certain range
Also how do you get the HTML posting thing to work?
I run an online baseball league, and the game I use to simulate our games has issued a new version which has updated ratings for all the baseball players. I have exported rosters from the new game and rosters from my online league to .csv files and what I want to do is find which players are duplicates in both files and line them so that I can scroll both files simultaneously and update my online league file easily. I also want the non-duplicate players to be sorted below the duplicates so I can deal with them later. Someone on the other forum posted some dynamic named range code and two macros and gave me some vague instructions on how to use the codes. I have posted the codes below with their instructions:
In both:
a) There're defined 2 dynamic named ranges:
"DataTable" as: =DESREF(INDIRECTO(DIRECCION(COINCIDIR("//Player ID";updated_rosters!$A:$A;0)+2;1;1;1;"ml_rosters"));;;CONTARA(updated_rosters!$A:$A)-

Is there a way to automate the importing of macros into a list of files ? I have a number of files that I want to add some code to and was wondering if this could be automated as opposed to adding the code to each file manually as it's going to be a regular job.
I've written a routine to loop through the list of files and open them, I just want to know how, if possible, i can automatically import the required macros.
I recently took a macros my friend did and adjusted it so it would work for my problem.
It works fine but there is one thing i don't understand about it.
The initial problem was that i needed a macros that could copy a range and paste it 1 cell space to the left and then delete the last cell of that range, so it would look something like this:
FROM THIS:
HIJKLM2NIVEL
3
21
TO THIS:
HIJKLM2NIVEL3
21
so this is the macros i am using which works perfectly:
Range("H1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Selection.Offset(0, 2).Select
RC = Cells(Columns.Count, ActiveCell.Row).End(xlUp).Column
Range(ActiveCell, Cells(RC, ActiveCell.Row + 11)).Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Select
Selection.ClearContents
What i don't understand is why i have to use the +11 in order for it to move 4 spaces to the right.
Is it possible to only allow a macro to work in certain cell?

I've been trying to create an excel macro to calculate shortest route path using floyd algorithm..
Problem is, i can't figure out why this macro won't work with decimal numbers..
I'm pretty sure there's a VERY simple explanation for this..
Probably has something to do with excel's formating
See the attachment and press Run button, it won't produce the correct result, but if if you multiply all the numbers in "input" sheet by 100.
My dad wrote me a VB programme to save me time entering repetitive data into an excel template for my business. At first it didnt work untilll i reduced security to low. Sice then I fried my computer and have had to reformat it with a diffirent version of windows, vista service pack 3. Now even on low security it doesnt work.
The little button in the worksheet to make the macro happen isnt visible or doesnt exist.
I wondered if I could pick your brains and hopefully get some answers to my problem. I have recently been using the Personal.xls worksheet to make all my Macros available to all open workbooks so that I don't have to cut and paste Macros each time I wanted to use them.
Now I know you sometimes have to make certain adjustments to Macros in order to make them work globally. I wondered if I could find out how to amend the codes below to make them work properly. Thanks.

View 11 Replies View Related1. I've written a few macros using MSExcel 2003 VBA that I've tested successfully on Office 2007, but with 2003 workbooks only. Since the filename extensions for Excel 2007 workbooks are different from those for 2003, what changes are required in my vba code to ensure that it will work with 2007 workbooks too?
2. Will changes to vba code be necessary even for changes in the operating system (e.g. Vista / Windows 7)? I have worked with my vba codes on Win XP only.
I have written a 2007 workbook which contains 4 simple macros. One of the macros automates the process of saving the print range as a .pdf file. It works fine on my pc but when I send it to others to use, when they try the macros, they all return a 1004 runtime error.

I've created a spreadsheet at work that has two summary tabs which contain hyperlinks to around 30 separate sheet tabs.
On each sheet tab there is a list of unique values in column A (and other information relating to each value in columns B to D which are repeated for more than one unique value). In column E, users enter a test script name against each unique value they wish to 'reserve', and the macro picks out the unique test script names and via the COUNTIF formula counts the frequency of each test script name for each of the different values in column B.
My problem is that the macro seems to work fine if the workbook is not shared, but errors if the workbook is saved as shared. The error is 'Run time error 1004 - Unable to select the MergeCells property of the Range class'.
Here is the macro code:
Sub Get_Policies_Per_Script(updCol As Long, ShtName As String)
Dim rowctr As Long
Dim tgtrow As Long
Const ppsformula As String = "=COUNTIFS($A$3:$A$65000,I$24,$E$3:$E$65000,$G"
If updCol = 5 Then 'test name column has been modified

When you enable macros the sheets 2, 3, 4 ect are visible but if you disable macros, you only see sheet 1 and and you can place a message on the sheet saying this will only work with macros enabled.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently posted a thread on locking one cell if another had a value in it, and vice versa for the other cell. I got this great response (thanks se1429!) and it works GREAT, but I failed to mention that the worksheet is password protected. It asks for a password when I enter a value in one of the cells. I just need help adjusting this code so I can put my password in the code and allow the worksheet to unlock and lock at will by using this password.

I need it to work out if the width of a job is for eg 2400mm i need to work out how many timber studs I need so the space between each stud is between 400mm and 500mm and this will need to work for a range of different sizes of frames. I have it written at the moment and it just devides the width by 400 and gives me a amount of studs but it would work much better if it could space them between 400 & 500.

I have an Excel 2003 program that contains macros. One of the macros hides certain command bars and disables the worksheet menu bar. On close the opposite is true. The problem is, if a user uses the disable macros when opening then the worksheet menu bar and other command bars are still available. I would like to hide all of the data sheets and display another sheet that would normally be hidden displaying a message that the macros have to be enabled for the program to work correctly if disable macros is chosen. When the enable macros are used I would like the Error page to be hidden.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a user that keeps a maintenance log in an Excel worksheet and sends an updated copy once a week to a board member. Two weeks ago, the board member started complaining that he was prompted to enable/disable macros on opening and became worried when my user stated that no macros were used in the book. He is now concerned that we have sent him a virus.
I know the file is clean because I've scanned it, and when I look at the file in VB, there are no modules or classes present just the Sheets 1-3 and the ThisWorkbook file. None of these objects have any code in them. My user does have some macros in PERSONAL.XLS but they are not used in the workbook in question.
No one else gets the prompt for enabling/disabling macros. Even if I set my security to prompt for any macros, I get no message. I'm convinced that there must be some setting in his Excel that is causing this individual to get this message. Is there anything else other than a macro that would cause this?

everytime i lock the column a by using the protect sheet, the vba does not work or debugs. is there a way for me to lock the cell in column a when data is inputted or changed in column b? i am using date and time for column a

Whenever I type into field D2 it populates current date and time in field A2 and down the A column as I write into current D columns. The next step I would like to do in which he was able to figure out so far is how to lock in the date and time after something has been typed into D2. If I make any changes to the D2 field it updates the date and time, which I dont want to happen.
I have a user that is trying to lock certian cells within a spreadsheet but to allow certian users still to be able to edit these cells.
When this users is trying to do this and locks the cells it is locking for all users and not applying the "allowed" list of users to make changes.
is it possible to lock a worksheet. For example, i have a single worksheet in a workbook that i do not want people viewing. Is there any way that a password would have to be used to gain access to it? I have to keep the sheet inside this workbook because information is pulling from other sheets inside the workbook.
